In this article we will discuss about the design of LaMont boiler with the help of a suitable diagram. This boiler works on a forced circulation and the circulation is maintained by a centrifugal pump, driven by a steam turbine using steam from the boiler. For emergency an electrically driven pump is also fitted. Fig. 12.22 shows a LaMont steam [...]
In this article we will discuss about the design of benson boiler which is used in steam power plants. Also learn about the advantages and benefits of benson boiler. In the LaMont boiler, the main difficult experienced is the formation and attachment of bubbles on the inner surfaces of the heating tubes. The attached bubbles to the tube surfaces reduce [...]
In this article we will discuss about the design of velox boiler which is used in steam power plants. Also learn about the advantages and benefits of velox boiler. It is a well-known fact that when the gas velocity exceeds the sound-velocity, the heat is transferred from the gas at a much higher rate than rates achieved with sub-sonic flow. [...]
